The clock can be reset in less tahn 3 seconds. It's a moronic way to handle it.

It's good to know that a moron like me can keep officiating games as long as I get the calls right.

Here's a question for the group...if electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

I did this once in a lower level game. Told the kid operating the clock to delay restarting the clock for about 4 or 5 seconds (don't remember it exactly) - told him to just watch for me to chop it in. The ball is inbounded, and knocked right out of bounds. Inbounded and knocked out of bounds. Inbounded, pass - and out of bounds. all the while I'm still standing with my arm in the air! Never did it that way again.

Especially because I knew the exact time to which it should have been reset and the time was written in the scorebook (happened after a foul call).

The best part was that, since the PTS was now working, the U1/U2 started the clock on the rebound and I had to override it.
